#12BooksOf2024

Chief Inspector Gamache and the bucolic community of Three Pines, Quebec, has enchanted and engaged me with an intriguing murder of a beloved member of the village, one whose death shatters all who loved her. I look forward to learning more about the characters and this enchanting town.
Thanks for helping all of us revisit our year of reading, @Andrew65. 🩶🖤🩶

Both of these books I purchased during summers past in Indie bookstores while on the CT Indie bookstore trail with one of my book friends.The book on Notre Dame‘s fire is pertinent as we were watching over Christmas TV reports/ short documentary on its restoration, now complete.
pickBook 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️
so-soBook 7 read this month. Unpopular opinion. There were parts I really liked in this story, friendship and the relationship between Nicholas and Kris. The romance was cute but I think Nicholas was too dramatic in some parts. Didn‘t like much the plot. Maybe I was expecting too much from this novel. Didn‘t like much as I expected. But maybe I will try book 2?🤷🏽♀️2.5/3⭐️
pickBook 6 read on December. What was this?? 😳I watched the movie, the old one, long time ago but this is the first time I read the book. As always Mr. King described so well the characters and the atmosphere. It was like watching everything, so dysfunctional, pathological, macabre, horrid. Do you think there are fans like that out there?🤔🫣😟
Love this old edition. 4⭐️
pickBook 5 read this month. I really enjoyed this rom-com mystery. I didn‘t expect to like it and not with that retro cover☺️But it has mystery, romance, and it‘s funny. This was the most perfect rom-com crime mystery of the year😂🎄Maybe my Grinch heart 💚 felt something☺️ 3.8⭐️
pickBook 4 read during month of December and 3rd book in the #Dream Harbors series. A new character but story is developed in the same setting which means you will see characters from books one and two. From the three books, I enjoyed this story more than the previous books. XcccvIt was funny even though I still think that spicy scenes could be cheesy. I love these covers 3⭐️
so-soI didn‘t know this was a Christian fiction book which is not my thing.😳I just loved the cover🤷🏽♀️There are four short stories were as always I liked some of them (2) more than others. All of them related with holiday. However, this book has strong religious content for my taste so nothing wrong with it but I didn‘t like it as much as you can imagine. But I think some persons could find it okay or good. It‘s just that it is not my taste 3⭐️
Thanks for playing along, it‘s been great seeing everyone‘s books. Hope to see you on the First day of Christmas later this year for #12Booksof2025. 👏👏👏😊🎉🥳 6d
